What was the final say on this?

The particular data source we looked at seemed to have too many false positives. Maybe there are some data sources we could check.

Also there's some dilution of focus and potential for misapplication since such a list probably would have non-spammers on it.

I think that it would be a substantial dilution of focus that could cause serious damage to surbl.org's reputation.

If some people find it useful to have surbl-type lists of domains that are not necessarily spam but that they find objectionable for some reason, be it sex sites, gaming sites, sites selling alcohol or promoting drugs or whatever, I think it would be better if they where done totally separate from surbl.org.
